C.C.Q Why wouldn’t a christian student group let gays become leaders or voting members? There just the same as all otheres. Just because there religion dosnt agree with it dosnt mean that they should agree with it 100%. How didn’t the law school not violate the First Admendment? the Constitution allows a state law school to deny recognition to a religious student organization because the group requires its officers and voting members to agree with its core religious viewpoints. SUMMARY The issue was whether the 9th Circuit erred when it held, directly contrary to the 7th Circuit's decision in Christian Legal Society v. Walker, 453 F.3d 853 (7th Cir. 2006), that the Constitution allows a state law school to deny recognition to a religious student organization because the group requires its officers and voting members to agree with its core religious viewpoints.

The Court ruled a law school does not violate the First Amendment when it denies recognition to a Christian student group that won't let gays become leaders or voting members. The issue was whether the 9th Circuit erred when it held, directly contrary to the 7th Circuit's decision in Christian Legal Society v. Walker, 453 F.3d 853 (7th Cir. 2006), that the Constitution allows a state law school to deny recognition to a religious student organization because the group requires its officers and voting members to agree with its core religious viewpoints.
